Directions
- STEP ONE
Put all your cocktail ingredients into a cocktail shaker with 5-6 ice cubes. Shake vigorously until the drink feels nicely chilled.
- STEP TWO
Pour this dreamy concoction into a martini glass. Yes, it really is that easy!
- STEP THREE
For extra spice drizzle some hot honey on top, then garnish with your chilli of choice. We’d recommend the candied chilli recipe below!
- For the optional garnish of Candided chilli:
- STEP 1
Mix the sugar and water in a pan and simmer until the sugar is dissolved.
- STEP 2
Cut the chilis in half length-ways and deseed. Then cut in half again so each one makes 4 long red strips.
- STEP 3
Add the chilis to the sugar water and simmer for around 15 minutes until soft, then let them cool.
- STEP 4
Remove the chilis from the water, letting any excess liquid drip off. Wrap the chilis around a metal skewer creating spiral shapes, and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- STEP 5
Place the chilis into a 90°C oven for about 1 hour – or until they are dry, hard to touch, and not sticky. Store in an airtight container until you’re ready to garnish your impressive cocktails!
